[Intro: Tech N9ne]
I'm humble because I know what it feels like
to be at the bottom and have nobody
No fans, no nothin, nobody believin in you
Now look at me
[Tech N9ne]
I was down on the ground with nobody
Some in my town said my sound was a hobby
Now that I'm crowned they're astounded and oddly
They try and come around, now I'm somebody
Middle finger in the air
With a hope and a prayer I started this
Never had no money then my daughter hit
That was a get-up-and-hustle-nigga starter kit
Hard to spit, bars to get
At stars when it's not marketed, you're far from it
Dark and your partner quit
Really barkin, you wishin for the spark to get heart in your art a bit
But they doubted me cause I'm nothin like 'em, never knew how to be
Stylistically foul and he's proud to be wild and he's
thinking now is time to get the crowd shoutin
Now people found him it's "Wow, peep his salary"
Way back when I was feelin defeated
When inspiration motivation was needed
At the pace to be great I've exceeded
all of your expectations, you fakers can EAT IT!
This my world, this my game
All the wicked shit is comin out of my brain
This my girl, music is my dame
If you can get it I'ma keep it P.I. mayne
Why not share the pie? Scared that I
would get the people likin me and wouldn't dare to buy yo' shit
Try to told ya before that my flow sick
Milli' sold on the road with my whole clique
Everybody listen in to witness, Tech's whirlwind
In the club with MGK, thick sex twirlin
Fought to the top, never did stop, now we got it it's "Fuck the world" then
The haters in the past on my ass wanna come around like my ex-girlfriends
[Chorus: MGK]
Ohh! For the block I (go)
For that spot I (go) to the top I (go)
Screamin "Fuck the world" (fuck the world) screamin "Motherfuck the world"
"Fuck the world" (fuck the world) screamin "Motherfuck the world"
And that's real, how I feel 24/7 in a city where the weak men die
Doin whatever we gotta do to survive, head to the sky, middle finger up high
Scream "Fuck the world" (fuck the world) screamin "Motherfuck the world"
"Fuck the world" (fuck the world) screamin "Motherfuck the world"
[Twista]
Twista~!
I remember thinkin I would rather die
than go through what I was goin through when I was strugglin to survive
Full of ambition and I'm ready to ride
No tragedy over triumph and I am a lion, I gotta try
Full of drama, I was feelin like a failure
Fiendin for the industry again, I was livin in disgust
Doin odd jobs, everybody seein me
Travelin to work back and forth on the bus
Yeah I was fucked up, but I got it together for y'all
Spit venomous lyrics cause I was ready to ball
Started +Po Pimpin'+ on everybody
and certain motherfuckers that wanna get in my circle I tell 'em naw
Cause I got to get money up in my anatomy naturally
and I gotta be gradually happy to holla
at somebody when they speak and they might be on that bullshit
So sometimes it's fuck 'em, I don't even bother
And who knows what's next for three angels chasin dreams
Hailin from the Midwest, as we spread our wings
All of us strivin to surf over the summit
creating us a vision that'd be stunnin
When we come to Earth and your city and do a show
You would get to see everybody from miles come runnin
Yellin for Machine Gun Kelly
And Tech N9ne and Twista get it in, better bring somethin smelly
We could take it to another level wherever you wanna go
Everybody put up your hands, I'm ready
C'mon and get wild, let loose
Celebrate the fact that you made it and let me see you get buck
You done been through some shit
But you did it cause you had the heart to throw the middle finger up, yup
[Chorus]
[MGK]
Kells~!
From the back streets, to the packed seats
On the block runnin from cops like athletes
Whoever would've imagined "Lace Up"
could've got me to the finish like track meets
And when everybody's hot I'm past heat
And if I don't need the fuel don't gas me
Yeah, it's been a long time comin
since "100 Words and Running" motherfucker come catch me
And while these other rappers pen-and-pad it
I was 13 with a semi-automatic
Anything we ever wanted then you know we gotta have it
Don't nobody ever snitch, get pinched you forget like magic
Kids carry tools like Go-Go Gadget
Leavin high school to an open casket
Now another baby in the stomach of his baby mother
never gonna know his daddy, tragic
Why the government gotta lie to get money?
Why the Federal Reserve gotta take from me?
Why should I be fightin for another country?
Have you seen my city muh'fucker? We hungry!
Representin for the middle of the map
even though me and mine are comin from the bottom
Why do all greats +fall+ when it isn't autumn?
Where would 'Pac be at if nobody would've shot him?
Do you really think The Notorious Big would believe these guys?
All the internet thugs that the the media finds
You wanna talk about grind
Look in encyclopedia, what name is in it? I bet you see mine
Motherfucker this Kells, skinny boy 6-foot-3
Heart bigger than an SUV
Lord knows I been through hell and back duckin jail and crack
and still I came out on T-O-P
This is for the kid who never had a father figure to depend on
Spendin every school day bein sent home
Feelin like he doesn't know anybody
because the only thing he ever had to him was some headphones
So he pick a song, and he turn 'em on
every morning just to get him through the day
Lookin for escape in the kick and the bass
That's the story of MGK
+Lace Up+!
[Chorus]
